EN 300220-1 contains the test requirements, but its reference is not
published in the OJ. EN 300220-3 is published in the OJ and lists the
sections of EN300220-1 that apply in order to comply with the essential
requirements concerning article 3.2 of the RTTE Directive. As you noted, it
lists requirements for the receiver as well as the transmitter. If you
declare compliance using the standard, you will have to comply with all
requirements of EN 300220-3. I once used the TCF route and the Notified Body
told me that the blocking requirement was not an essential requirement. Go
figure. Oh, and, of course you also have to comply with EN 300 683 or its
replacement, EN 301489-1 and EN 301489-3.

Subject: Receiver Requirements in ETSI 300 220



In the title of ETSI 300 220 it states "Harmonized EN covering essential
requirements under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive".  Article 3.2 is only
concerned that the device effectively uses the allocated spectrum, but
within the standard it has a battery of receiver immunity tests.  I thought
that by completing ETSI 300 683 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard
for short range devices that we had shown compliance with the requirements
of the EMC Directive.

My question is this;  Do I show compliance with the EMC Directive and the
R&TTE Directive by complying to ETSI 300 683 and ETSI 300 220 (less the
Receiver tests of ETSI 300 220)?

Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
